What we’re called out for in Hawstead
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Dents and gouges
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Scorch marks from pans

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Clean spills straight away
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repair or replace in Hawstead?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Water-swollen laminate
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
